Kingdom School has started! We are so blessed and excited to have gotten off to a Spirit filled start with 19 students who are handpicked by God, it seems to me! Each day of classes, more revelation about who God is, and who we REALLY are in Him. I am so excited I can hardly stand it!
As part of the School, students have a daily Bible reading from a study put together by Global Awakening. I am finding it to be foundational to really walking this path with God. Here’s an excerpt from last week’s reading from Romans 8:27-28 (The Message translation):
“What we’ve learned is this: God does not respond to what WE do; we respond to what GOD does. We’ve finally figured it out. Our lives get in step with God and all others by letting Him set the pace, not by proudly or anxiously trying to run the parade.”
And “God sets right all who welcome His action and enter into it, both those who follow our religious system and those who have never heard of our religion.” Romans 8:30.
I just am so happy with being able to experience through the Kingdom School all the advanced ministry teachings available through Global Awakening. We are telecasting by internet the classes held on site in PA, so we have fresh material every week.
Michael is doing an amazing job as director of the school and I am looking forward to the Spring when people have been filled with all this good material and confidence building in living life with an alive Jesus operating within them.
I, Christine, have realized how much God wants me to fulfill His call on my life as an artist. I have jumped into some community art events and am making friends with whom I will share my love of Jesus through sharing our art experiences. God has blessed me with several commissions which I am working on; here is one of my favorites – Christ the Healer (it’s unfinished yet) .
I. Michael, am also very excited about the school and we are already hearing of some of the fruit; Episcopal services taking twice as long as usual because everyone was given a word of prophecy. A high school was taught how to communicate with God from one of our students and they were crying as they gave their testimonies of what God had said to them. It is so wonderful what God is doing. It is like watching a flower unfold and we know there is so much more to come.
Now we start to do more outreach and we know that this is where the teachings we have heard become a reality as God shows up when we go out in faith praying on the streets. This is one of the areas that I love to walk in, being natural praying for people who need healing on the streets, in supermarkets, bus stations, hairdressers, just where ever and teaching other people to become comfortable with it as well. God is so gentle and loving that as we see people with His heart we flow with what He is doing. It is so much fun when God takes over and takes things much further than you ever imagined.
One of the wonderful parts of the school is our growing as a family as we all go through experiences with the Lord. This last weekend there has been the National Day of Prayer in Wembley Stadium England and also a huge gathering of prayer in Philadelphia,USA. We know that some of our English Christian family were there actively praying and crying out to the Lord.
Our relationship with them is founded on hours of praying together and it is as though we were standing there with them. But whether we gather in stadiums, in classrooms or house churches the wonderful thing about being a Christian is we are part of a huge family. When we move from one town to another, one nation to another we have family there already, God being the father and we are the brothers and sisters. There is nothing like it and we give thanks every day that we are part of that family and it is constantly growing. Wow. God is good all the time.
So family thank you for all your prayers and please do keep them coming. God is doing wonderful things and we know there is so much more to come in this area.
